Toward a United Nations city group on ageing and age disaggregated data

As the proportion of the world’s population in the older ages continues to increase, the need for improved information and analysis of population ageing grows too. The UK’s Office for National Statistics hosted an important meeting of key stakeholders to explore this further. Participants shared knowledge and experience on the core issues of age-disaggregated data and ageing statistics and to work towards the establishment of a United Nations City Group. The debate was very productive and tweets were shared to inform the public on what was discussed.
